Accelerating Vocational Excellence in the Construction Sector
The construction sector faces a major skills gap in green building practices, limiting its ability to meet climate goals. Accelerating vocational excellence is key to closing this gap. This policy paper presents a strategic framework that connects bottom-up innovation with top-down policy, highlighting the urgent need for skills to drive the green transition across the construction value chain. Through real-world examples and effective methods, it shows how partnerships, research, training, and financing models can address the skills shortage. Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) emerge as dynamic ecosystems linking education, industry, and policymakers. The paper offers policy recommendations to accelerate vocational excellence and drive sustainable transformation in construction.
